Course overview
Leverage AI to make your organization safer, more secure and more successful
2023 marked a pivotal year with AI's rapid advancement, signaling both an enormous opportunity and a significant challenge.
These tools offer unparalleled efficiency, and many firms are already seeing the benefits of these tools, but implementing AI safely, effectively, and with empathy takes planning and thoughtfulness.
This course will lead you through a tried and tested approach to understanding AI, determining how it can benefit your organization until finally building an actionable roadmap specific to your organization.
We'll cover:
• What AIs are (and aren't) and the differences between the leading models
• Why prompting matters and how to write and apply these effectively
• How to determine the best tool for the job (and why that sometimes means not using AI)
• How to determine where AI can fit into your workflows most effectively
• Building an implementation roadmap and how to generate buy-in
Everything here is based on the tools and techniques I've used in my own risk and intelligence work to see improvements of up to 100x efficiency.
Moreover, the approach is firmly grounded in best consulting practices, building on my many years as a management consultant, so the focus is on delivering an actionable set of improvements to make you and your team more effective.
If you're looking to take advantage of AI to improve your risk, crisis, and security operations, this is the place to start.
Note, these cohorts are deliberately small to maximize the practical nature of the sessions so there are only ten seats in each group.
Who is this course for
01
This is for risk, crisis and security managers who know AI can benefit their work and are looking for a pragmatic, practical place to start.
02
This is a practical course for action-oriented professionals. There's an emphasis on hands-on experience and building actionable outcomes.
03
This is not a technical course: we touch on building and training AI but this is for risk and crisis practitioners. No CS degree required.
What you’ll get out of this course
Understand the basics of AI and the capabilities of common models and tools
We'll lay the foundations by discussing what AI are, what they're not, and looking at the common tools and models that you may encounter to understand their capabilities and how to choose the right tool for the job.
Learn how to use AI effectively, write effective prompts, and select the right model and tool for the job.
We'll spend a lot of time hands-on with various AI tools putting them to work for a series of common day-to-day business applications and risk-and-crisis specific tasks to ensure that you're comfortable using these tools and getting the most out of them.
Identify areas where AI can benefit your risk and crisis operations.
incorporating AI into your workflows can create enormous benefits of up to 100X improvement. So we'll ensure that you've been able to identify areas where AI can benefit your operations using our tried and tested needs assessment process.
Build an organization-specific roadmap for AI implementation.
The final deliverable is an organization-specific roadmap that will prioritize the actions to take, identify how you will implement AI across your organization, and help identify where roadblocks might appear and how to navigate those to maximize your chance of success.
